5.4 Connecting a CP Lab
The CP lab has got several components which have to be connected when starting up. The description for
the procedure will be explained in the following chapters.
5.4.1 Pneumatic Commissioning
The mechanic mounting has to be completed and finished. At first, the CP Lab conveyor has to be connected
to the pneumatic system of the room. The required service unit has to be provided by the customer and
should be in the immediate vicinity of it. The quick coupling plug has got a nominal size of 5mm. If the
present system is provided with a nominal size of 7.9mm, it is possible to replace the quick coupling plug of
the service unit by a bigger one (an adapter 1/8 to ¼ will be required).
After execution, the station can be supplied with 6bar, and the pneumatic commissioning is finished.
